High daily doses of Zinc and Vitamin B6 completely solved the problem for me. Please look up "Pyroluria" on Google. There's plenty of writing on the matter. POIS was a symptom of Pyroluria for me (there are other symptoms, and POIS isn't traditionally one of them). It is very straightforward to try the supplements and see if it works.I take 150mg Zn and about 200mg Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) every single day. If I "O", I take 50mg Zn and 80mg B6 an hour two after (on top of my daily regular does). My POIS symptoms were:1. Sore throat and pain in tonsils (usually right one)2. Blood shot eyes3. Brain fog4. Irritability5. Fatigue and weaknessEvery one of these symptoms is gone now. I do still get bloodshot eyes if I don't take the extra Zinc and B6 about 1 to 2 hours after I "O". Once I take them (say 4 hours after), the bloodshot eyes go away. No other symptoms show up even if I skip this extra dose as long as I'm taking my daily dose (150mg Zn and 200mg B6). To repeat, look up "Pyroluria" on Google and just try the higher doses of Zn and B6 supplements. If you don't see improvements quickly (a day or two), then this may not be the solution for you. For those that it does work for, I think it will work very quickly and will be obvious that it is a solution for you. Good luck.
no one wants to reply to me but i will keep asking :-'(...can taking anti histamine tablet after or before O effects POIS
Nightingale, the hygiene hypothesis and helminthic therapy are very interesting. I wish doctors would be more open minded about it.
